Kaupō is located in the southeastern part of Maui, Hawaii, USA, a remote area in the southeastern foothills of the Haleakala Volcano. The area is known for Kaupō Canyon and the historic community of Kaupō, with spectacular volcanic landscapes and coastline views.
The Kaua'o area retains remnants of Native Hawaiian traditions, including ancient fishponds, heiau (heiau) and agricultural terrace sites. The Kaubo Trail, part of the famous Kings Highway, offers hiking through savanna and volcanic rock terrain, with spectacular views of Haleakala Crater and the Pacific Ocean along the way.
Due to its remote and underdeveloped location, Kaupo is less visited by tourists and is suitable for travelers seeking a pristine nature experience. The area's Kauppo Ranch and Church of the Holy Spirit are testaments to 19th-century rural Hawaiian life. Currently accessible primarily by foot or four-wheel drive, the area is an important window into Maui's wilderness ecology and history and culture.
